WHAT THEY SAY
'A third of all savings will come out of improved design, with 90%
of these coming in the early design phase. The closer you are to
letting the contract, the harder it is to achieve these savings.' -
Peter Rogers, director, Stanhope Properties.
'There is a 15% saving immediately available to clients who get
their act together and do a project strategy, and there is a
further 15% to be gained from improved attention to better
buildability.' - Frank Griffiths, cost procurement
consultant.
'Improved design in structures can offer a 5% saving and in many
design and build schemes you can save 10%.' - Tom Barton, southern
director, Mowlem Construction
